Quasi-Biennial Oscillation

Time-height section of monthly mean zonal winds (m/s) at equatorial stations: Canton Island, 3°S/172°W (Jan 1953 - Aug 1967), Gan/Maledive Islands, 1°S/73°E (Sep 1967 - Dec 1975) and Singapore, 1°N/104°E (since Jan 1976). Isopleths are at 10 m/s intervals; westerlies are shaded (updated from Naujokat, 1986)

  • About

NERC Environmental Research DTP Second Year Student. My work focuses on a laboratory analogue of the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation broadly following that of Plumb-McEwan, and seeks to understand how this analogue of the fundamental dynamics responds to changes in forcing and behavior expected in a changing climate, and to explain changes observed in the QBO.

My project is supervised by Alfonso Castrejon-Pita, Peter Read, and Scott Osprey.
